Hi there! I am a sociology professor at Mount Saint Vincent University in beautiful Halifax, Nova Scotia. I am heading to the UK and Spain summer 2011 for work. I am presenting a paper at a research conference in Madrid and will spend about month travelling around.

Personal data: 42, gay, non-smoker, fairly quiet and nonjudgmental. Thought this type of accommodation would be a neat way to meet some different people and have a more human feel than big hotels and formal establishments!
